Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Pitarys and staff are awesome. He saved my life twice. Once with a pacemaker and then with a stent. The staff are friendly, considerate, compassionate, and caring. He is very thorough and he listens to my concerns. I would recommend Dr. Pitarys to anyone needing a cardiologist..

Dr. Pitarys is a life saver he has not only saved my father’s life, but also my husbands life! He has a heart of gold and goes above and beyond for everyone. Just recently, my mother was in the hospital, and he went out of his way to make sure she knew that she was cared and loved during her hospital stay! We cant thank you enough for your dedication and commitment you’ve towards others. We love you!!

I have been going to Dr. Pitarys on and off for 13 years. I could not ask for a more caring, compassionate, doctor that listens to your needs and devotes the time to his patients. I also add that the staff is just as caring and wonderful. I have full and complete confidence in Dr. Pitarys and the staff of girls. My recent stress test was carefully taken by the two nurses with confidence.

Dr. Pitarys is busy because he is saving the lives of people who recommend him to others.
He graduated from one of the top medical schools in the nation. He is very compassionate and kind to me and his staff. I consider him to be a perfectionist. He correctly diagnosed my heart issue 5 years ago and I've never felt better. His job is not to win a personality contest but to save patients' lives and to keep them living.

This guy is terribly rude, condescending and not thorough in his follow through. Whether you get him on the phone or see him in person, he either tries to avoid you or keeps the conversation brief (under 30 seconds). My father was in Bayonet Pt Hospital for CHF and Dr. Pitarys was the attending Cardiologisty. I called him to get test results for my dad and his response was your dad is doing great and should go home today. He failed to mention that the echocardiogram showed he had a mini-heart

Happy heart in Tampa, FL – May 05, 2016
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Pitarys?
He was extremely rude when questioned about the type of treatment he was giving a heart patient! Doesn't he understand it's a heart patient that he was upsetting by his rudeness! Dr. Pitarys' office is rude, too. Even the office system is terrible. They don't call back if you have a test done to tell the results. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. He may have some successes under his belt, but if you are the type to ask questions about YOUR treatment, watch out!

Doc has compassion and saved my life. I was scared and ready to walk out of the cath lab - his manner made me stay. Thank you for a second chance at life - I did not know if I would of walked out I would of not walked back in alive. I was very scared of being killed like my sister was having this procedure done at Oklahoma Heart Hospital In OKC. I also asked to be knocked out during the procedure and he made sure that it happened. I appreciated the empathy for my extreme fright,and for his skill

I have been a patient of Dr . Pitarys since I was 25. I'm going on 43 now and have NEVER had a doctor that I have trusted as much with my health and the health of my family as Dr Pitarys The office staff is always available for any help should the need arise. A long story short, my life has been made better due to the care and commitment by Dr Pitarys and his staff.
